Vice President Mike Pence was feeling optimistic ahead of election day, despite overwhelming predictions that Democrats will seize control of the House.

During an interview with Christian Broadcasting Network, Pence said he thinks Republicans will be able to expand their majority in the Senate while maintaining their hold on the House.

“The President and I are very confident,” Pence told CBN. “If we get out and tell the story of the progress that we’re making in this country, progress that’s created nearly four million jobs, rebuild our military, has America standing tall in the world again, being respected again, we tell that story all across this country, we’re going to make history in 2018 just the way we made history in 2016.”
